Paramount+'s Halo TV series has officially been hailed as "a huge global hit" by the company's CEO Bob Bakish.
Yes, as reported by GameSpot, and according to an earnings-related press release from Paramount+, the show has hit the ground running, helping the network continue a strong recent run of form;
"Paramount+ saw strong engagement and consumption led by Halo, 1883, Star Trek: Picard, live events and the NFL. Internationally, Acapulco Shore was a top acquisition and engagement driver..."
Given the fact that Paramount+ had greenlit a follow-up to the sci-fi series before it had even had its first season premiere, the news that it's off to a flying start will no doubt come as a relief to many in the company. Although, let's face it, barring a complete disaster, a Halo TV show was never exactly going to do badly was it? Even in the face of fairly mixed reviews, the level of interest and hype generated by the long-running franchise hitting the small screen will have pretty much guaranteed it a solid audience who'll stick around to see it out.
Have you been checking out the Halo TV show yet? How have you found it so far? As always, let us know in the comments!

Seeing how it's not even out in many large territories how can it be a 'global hit'. Bit like the 'World Series' of Baseball.
@themightyant we could name American sports all day but at the end I do agree with ya lol.
They forgot to type the "S"
@themightyant Gamespot is the source of that quote from what I can see. They get their info from Deadline, who do not say "Global hit Halo".
They do say "Domestically during the first quarter, Paramount+ saw strong engagement and consumption led by Halo, 1883, Star Trek: Picard, live events and the NFL. Internationally, Acapulco Shore was a top acquisition and engagement driver."
And Deadline look to be getting their info from the Paramount+ Earning Report press release of 3rd of May 2022. But that requires you to give up some info, and I don't get paid to do a reporter's job, so I'm stopping there.

Good work and before all the haters start I enjoyed it and it's good they tried something a little different just know that if they followed the games the same people would moan that they couldn't come up with anything new.
But Yellowstone is by far the best thing that paramount plus have produced
Glad someone is watching it.
I'm sure as heck not.
Stopped watching after first episode. Turned me very bitter. Should just called the show, Lamo: Woke Evolved.
@GuyinPA75 I agree with you but they also ruined star trek discovery. When you have to go to the parallel universe in season one maybe you should rethink your entire life.
How tf is it a global hit when half the planet doesn't get to see it. The world doesn't stop with North America.
@VisitingComet1 That's sad to hear. Always wanted to watch that since I like Sasha (Walking Dead) and curious see how she be in star trek show.
But honestly I'm tired of paying for subscriptions. Just to the point if they want me to watch something, put it on tv. I'm done paying for extra.
@GuyinPA75 you might like it I was looking more for an exploration meet new civs and solve mysterious space things instead it was really combat heavy. the new one that is out seems to be more what I am looking for but we will see. I am with you on the subs I live on the border with Mexico so broadcast tv is hard to get and the cable company is borderline extortion. So, we subscribe to paramount and Disney that's about it. The one thing I enjoy is the fbi show and blue bloods they also have a ton of kids stuff. Disney plus is not to bad if you can stomach their politics they do have a lot of good national geographic and things like that.
So global and so hit that CBS block negative reviews on youtube, lol.
Halo is so *****. i really think it’s over. Let’s see..343’s devs were not permitted to make Halo infinite to the best of their ability. anyways.
Why did they make a Halo tv show lol? Produced by someone who doesn’t care for halo at all. They're nuking the franchise str8 into obscurity
Paramount+ is synonymous with the appalling disasters that is Star Trek Picard and Star Trek Discovery 👎
Ruining original franchises is their game, apparently.
